Sort option in any visual

Hi, since this month upgrade to PBI desktop, by default it sorts from Z to A in a visual. When I click on the sort option, it doesn't allow me to sort from A to Z. Please see the image, thanks.

@Chapin4u,

Sort by option(A->Z) works well in my Desktop, please check the video in my environment.

Hi, I have the same problem on sort option. When click on the sort option, it doesn't change to A-Z.

 

Desktop Version 2.58.5103.501 64-bit (May 2018), which I think is the latest one.

Click the same thing a second time, it should reverse to A-Z.

Yes, I do that and nothing happens. that is my issue.

It looks like you're drilled down on a hierarchy. You probably need to sort the top level of the hierarchy first.

Thanks, I was able to fix the order in a bar chart. The issue remains in a simple filter. Please see the image. Thanks.
